(From Inquirer)
New talents for a new league.
A rookie draft has been set for the inaugural Philippine Basketball Developmental League, the joint venture between the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) and Liga Pilipinas which is slated to get going on June 5.
But PBL executive director Butch Maniego said the Rookie Draft set on May 15 is open only to players born from 1981 onward.
Applicants also must have not seen action in the PBL or Liga Pilipinas.
“We’ll remain as an amateur league,” said Maniego of the two-year joint venture that will serve as the blueprint for the Philippine Basketball Association’s (PBA) development league project patterned after the NBA’s D-League.
Filipino players with foreign lineage must also show proof of their roots up to the third degree of consanguinity and acquire a Filipino passport.
Application forms may be sent through e-mail at wordcomet@yahoo.com, b_antonio427@yahoo.com or pdreyes827@yahoo.com. Deadline is on May 12.
